Police say Bradley’s injury wasn’t consistent with biting the blade, but appeared self-inflicted. They also say there was no sign the blade had actually been inside the sandwich.

Police say they believe Bradley stole a package of razor blades from a store minutes before buying the sandwich. They say she filed a claim with the restaurant’s insurer and sought to hire a lawyer.

Chief Randy Fontenot says additional charges are possible.
